What:
Dell’Arte First-year Students Present Buffo!
Guaranteed to get you laughing, this parade of human folly exhibits the excesses of appetites and passions. Using characters both traditional and contemporary, with music and acrobatics, this lively form and its masked archetypes has crossed the ocean and four centuries to entertain and amuse., Misers, Know-it-alls, Thieves, Show-boats, Lovers, Posers, Gropers, Do-Gooders and Wind-bags make up the colorful cast of characters.
First-year students of the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre present “Buffo!” in the Carlo Theatre in Blue Lake, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 4-6 at 8 p.m.
A physical celebration of rhythm, attitude and improvisational madness, Commedia dell’Arte pushes passions to the extreme. The characters, defined by the mask, require a level of play from the performer where the body is fully engaged, alive and always playful.
True to Commedia, a simple storyline is the structure that allows the actors to create and play all’improvviso - a style that is constantly nourished by improvisation and virtuoso developments of comic themes (lazzi).
“Buffo!” will run in the Carlo Theatre in Blue Lake on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 4-6 at 8 p.m. in the Carlo Theatre in Blue Lake. All performances are Pay What You Can. For mature audiences. For reservations or to purchase tickets, call 707-668-5663 Ext. 5. For more information visit www.dellarte.com.
